Answer:

not enough skin exposure to the sun to make Vitamin D.

Explanation:

The correct answer would be not enough skin exposure to the sun to make Vitamin D.

The body makes vitamin D by being exposed to the sun and this vitamin and its metabolite are quite important in the homeostasis of calcium. Calcium on its own is very essential to the formation of bones in the body.

Hence, when the skin is not adequately exposed to the sun, the body becomes short of vitamin D and this disrupts the homeostasis of calcium and the formation of bones in the body. Thus, osteoporosis, also known as weak bones, may result.

Hypothesis: What do you predict you will find about the number of cells in each of the phases of the cell cycle? Provide an expl

Wittaler [7]

For the Data and Observation refer the image attached.

Data Analysis:

Calculate the percentage of the cell cycle spent in each stage.

Number of cells in given stage ÷ total number of cells counted × 100 = % of the cell cycle spent in this stage

Conclusion:

Be sure to answer the following reflection questions in the conclusion of your lab report:

Based on your data, what can you infer about the length of time spent in each stage of the cell cycle?

The most time is used in the cell cycle is in the interphase.

What stages were the longest and shortest? Give a brief explanation of why these stages may have that time period.

The longest phase of the cell cycle is the Interphase. Most of the total time of cell cycle is spent in the Interphase. The reason for this being is that the cell prepares itself for its division, and also in this phase, the necessary protein for the duplication of organelles occurs.

just olya [345]

It may be perfectly healthy that their newborn is sleeping this long so unless they start displaying other strange symptoms that cause concern, there is no need to worry. They could suggest that they are concerned to the midwife if they feel anxious, to get a professional opinion.
